Slackware's package management tools are all written in Bash. It's nice, because it's easy to read, understand, and port. I've used slackpkg and related tools on a RISC Debian machine and quite enjoyed it.
From that, I learnt not to underestimate or undervalue Bash as a tool, or POSIX's integration with shell scripting. I know other OS's can be scripted, but I have yet to see one that respects the user as much as POSIX.
This sounds amazing. The idea of teaching SVG never occurred to me, and yet it's not dissimilar from teaching HTML (but has the benefits of teaching XML, plus it looks pretty in the end). Great idea. I'll check out the ebook(s)!
